A perfect lash extension job relies on two basics: good glue and a fresh start. If the sticky stuff doesn’t work or the lashes aren’t ready right, even top extensions won’t stick around long. So, how do experts make sure things work well and last? It begins with knowing the science of eyelash glue and why foam cleanser matters a lot.

Key Components of Eyelash Glue for Professional Use

Types of Eyelash Glue and Their Characteristics

Picking the right sticky agent means understanding its makeup. Clear and dark eyelash glues fit different looks. Dark ones mix well with black lashes for a thicker appearance, but clear ones suit colored lash sets or folks who want a simple finish.

For people with touchy eyes, some glues are made to cut down on bother. ESSI LASH eyelash extension glue is made of the high quality material and it is medically tested with the less irritation to the human body and can be safely used.

Drying time and retention are also key differentiators. For instance:

• Gold+ glue dries in 1 seconds
• Silver+ gluetakes 1–2 seconds
• Gentle glue, suitable for sensitive eyes, dries in 2–3 seconds

Composition of Eyelash Glue and Its Functional Role

Most pro eyelash glues come from cyanoacrylate mixes, like ethyl cyanoacrylate. These give quick sticking and firm first grip. Extra parts help tweak thickness, steadiness, and setting speed. So technicians can manage glue movement and work time better.

Thickness changes how even the glue covers the extension. Setting speed decides how fast the link sets after putting it on. Thin, quick-setting types—like 0.1-second glues—are often picked by skilled lash workers. They want speed and steadiness, but without losing how well it holds.

Proper Techniques for Applying Eyelash Glue

Preparing the Natural Lashes Before Application

Prepping your lashes is crucial. Oils, makeup residue, and dust can significantly affect adhesion, which is why a professional grade foam cleanser, specially formulated to remove these impurities, should always be used.

Recommended tools:

• Lintfree applicators
• Cleansing brushes
• Lash primer

These ensure a clean lash line and better glue performance.

Application Process for Optimal Bonding

When working with fast setting adhesives like Gold+ 0.1s drying Glue, precision matters. Use tweezers to dip each extension into a tiny bead of glue—too much causes clumping; too little weakens the bond.

A common mistake? Not isolating lashes properly, leading to stickies that impact both comfort and retention.

Best Practices for Lash Attachment

Always:

• Isolate one natural lash at a time.
• Match the curve of the extension to the natural lash.
• Maintain a 0.5–1 mm distance from the eyelid.

This allows for flexibility and prevents glue from irritating the lash line.

Foam Cleanser in Lash Extension Procedures

Characteristics and Composition of Foam Cleansers

Pro lash foam cleansers are made with mild, oil-free cleaners and wetting agents like glycerin. They clear dirt, makeup leftovers, and extra oils well. And they do it without hurting glue links.

Unlike normal face washes, lash-safe mixes skip heavy oils and rough scrub bits. This makes them good for everyday lash care and keeping extensions on longer. Regular facial cleansers often contain oils or exfoliants unsuitable for extensions.

Advantages of Using Foam Cleanser in Lash Care

Consistent use:

• Prevents buildup that weakens adhesive bonds
• Maintains lash hygiene
• Extends retention

Regular use of a professional grade foam cleanser can significantly extend lash retention and improve overall lash hygiene.

Client Instructions for At home Foam Cleanser Use

Preparing the Eye Area Before Cleansing

Before cleansing:

• Remove makeup with oilfree remover.
• Use a soft brush or lintfree applicator to avoid catching on extensions.

How to Use Foam Cleanser on Lash Extensions Properly

Dispense 1–2 pumps onto a cleansing brush. Gently swirl along the lash line in circular motions. Avoid pressing hard or pulling at the lashes.

Post cleansing Tips to Preserve Lash Extensions

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water—never hot. Then air dry or use a mini fan. Brush lashes upward once dry to maintain their shape.

Essential Maintenance Practices for Lash Artists and Clients

Safe Removal Methods for Eyelash Extensions

Manual removal should always be avoided, as pulling extensions can damage natural lashes and cause irritation. Professional lash removers—such as gel or cream formulas—are designed to safely dissolve adhesive bonds without harming the eye area.

Cream removers are usually chosen for their denser feel. That cuts the chance of stuff getting into the eyes. When removing, put on under-eye pads to guard. Stick to the item’s suggested wait time. And slide off extensions gently with tweezers or lint-free wipes. Never push lashes that aren’t loose yet.

Promoting Long term Health of Natural Lashes

Encourage clients to take breaks between full sets and use lash serums during off periods. Diet also matters—proteins, biotin, and omega fatty acids help strengthen natural growth.

Common Questions About Eyelash Glue and Foam Cleanser Use

How long should you wait after applying glue before attaching the extension?

Immediately—especially with fast drying glues like ESSI LASH’s 0.1s formula.

Can regular facial cleansers replace foam cleansers for lash care?

No. Facial cleansers often contain oils or harsh ingredients unsuitable for lash adhesives.

What humidity levels are ideal when working with eyelash glue?

Optimal humidity for use：48%–70%.

What is the shelf life of opened eyelash glue products?

Around 6 months when stored properly—cool, dry, and sealed tightly.

Should clients brush their lashes after using foam cleanser?

Yes—once dry—to maintain fluffiness and prevent tangling.

Is it safe to swim or shower immediately after a lash session?

Wait at least 24 hours to allow full curing of adhesive.

What water temperature is recommended when rinsing foam cleanser?

Lukewarm. Avoid hot water as it can weaken bonds.

How can a lash artist identify potential allergic reactions to glue?

Look for redness, itching, or swelling post application. In such cases, recommend switching to a gentle formula like ESSILASH’s sensitive glue.
